Does anybody have a method for making clean, interlocking, dove tail ends for a log wall. So far nobody has been able to help me. I will post pictures if you would like to see how i tried it with SEO. Please help!

I would start with a morph and seo out what you need to create the dovetail.
Then select the morph again and "convert to morph" The interesting part
is when you convert to morph (even though it is already a morph) the seo
operation is permanent.

David,

I had tried using SEO to do it and my first wall came out great. But when i tried to do the second wall where the corners intersect it took out material from both walls that i hadn't told the program to remove.

And this was my second wall. Thanks for the reply though!

The first morph i used on the second wall took that material away from the first wall when i didn't even select the first wall. So i'm really not sure what to try at this point.

Another method is to put intersecting walls on layers with different priority numbers (in the layer settings dialogue box). Every other wall would be ,e.g., on a layer with '1' and the others '2'.
